Company History:
Seward Motor Freight can trace its origin back to the early 1940's
when it was formed to haul freight between Omaha and Seward,
Nebraska. After having had several owners through the years, Wayne
and Joan Tanderup purchased and incorporated the business in 1969.
When they purchased the business they had seven employees working
for them.

The business continued to grow throughout the 1970's and they
acquired long haul permitsfrom the I.C.C. to haul general
commodities throughout the continental United States. In 1987, the
company was granted contract authority. Throughout the 1980's
several smaller carriers were acquired by Seward Motor Freight,
Inc. expanding their base of operations and driver base.

Seward Motor Freight's Board of Directors include the major
stockholders, Wayne and Joan Tanderup, with Wayne serving as
Chairman of the Board and Joan as Corporate Secretary. Leroy Virus
joined the firm in 1976 and was hired to work in "operations." He
was promoted to Vice President and a stockholder in 1981 and now
holds the title of Executive Vice President. Ron Niemoth was hired
as the company's Comptroller in 1984 and was promoted to a
stockholder in 1985 and Corporate Treasurer in 1986. Other officers
include Dave Coufal as President, Joyce Helge as Vice President of
Operations and Erich Helge as Vice President of Safety.

Seward Motor Freight moved to a new 6 1/2 acre office and fleet
maintenance facility at I-80 and Highway 15 in 1985. In the summer
of 1989, a two-story brick building was added onto the 1985
facility. The new addition houses the accounting, dispatch and
billing departments and also the drivers' lounge. At this date,
Seward Motor Freight operates 200 tractors and 400 trailers across
the country. The company presently employs approximately 250 people
from the Seward location and has a terminal and fleet maintenance
facility in South Weber, Utah, and sales offices in Quincy,
